When using a "FILE *" type, checkpatch considers this an error. Fix this by explicitly defining "FILE" as a common type.
This is useful for user space patches.
With this patch, we now get: static void a(FILE *const b)
<E> <E> <_>WS( ) <E> <E> <_>IDENT(static) <E> <V> <_>WS( ) <E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void ) <E> <T> <_>FUNC(a) <E> <V> <V>PAREN('(') <EV> <N> <_>DECLARE(FILE *const ) <EV> <T> <_>IDENT(b) <EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V <E> <V> <_>WS( ) 32 > . static void a(FILE *const b) 32 > EEVVVVVVVTTTTTVNTTTTTTTTTTTTVVV 32 > ______________________________
Another error may be throw when we use FIXTURE_{DATA,VARIANT}() structs, as defined in kselftest_harness.h . The commented $typeKselftestHarnessTypedefs should fix it but such definition is considered as a function instead, because of the closing parenthesis. I'd like some help to fix this as well.
With $typeKselftestHarnessTypedefs added to $typeTypedefs, we get: static void c(const FIXTURE_VARIANT(d) *const e)
<E> <E> <_>WS( ) <E> <E> <_>IDENT(static) <E> <V> <_>WS( ) <E> <V> <_>DECLARE(void ) <E> <T> <_>FUNC(c) <E> <V> <V>PAREN('(') <EV> <N> <_>MODIFIER(const) <EV> <T> <_>WS( ) <EV> <T> <_>FUNC(FIXTURE_VARIANT) <EV> <V> <V>PAREN('(') <EVV> <N> <_>IDENT(d) <EVV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V <EV> <V> <_>WS( ) <EV> <V> <_>OPV(*) <EV> <N> <_>MODIFIER(const) <EV> <T> <_>WS( ) <EV> <T> <_>IDENT(e) <EV> <V> <_>PAREN(')') -> V <E> <V> <_>WS( ) 30 > . static void c(const FIXTURE_VARIANT(d) *const e) 30 > EEVVVVVVVTTTTTVNTTTTTTVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVNVVVNTTTTTTVVV 30 > ________________________________________B_________
